NASCAR Crossover Wave 2 Haul

 I am ecstatic to be among the first to find the new second wave of the Cars-NASCAR crossover racers! My stores didn't get the first wave in, so I was only ever able to find Jackson Storm, but I am so glad to now have Lightning McQueen, Chase Racelott, and the New Characters-William Byrev and Carston "Ace" Dillon. These are all great, and Byrev and Carston are great fan service, as they bring back two sponsors cut from Cars 3, Shifty Drug and Sidewall Shine. As someone who is not interested in NASCAR, I do not have a connection with the real-world racers that these two are named after, but the returning sponsors make these among my favorite releases of 2021 so far! 

Oh, and I found the Sputter Stop Racing Tractor, too. I've got to say, these tractors were cooler at first, and I feel like we're getting too many...I'm still a fan of them, though, and they are incredibly well detailed. 

Let me know your thoughts on these cars in the comments!

Repaint Haul!

 I recently picked these cars up over the weekend, 2021 Andrea, Tex, and another Suki and Ramone. I got all of these to repaint, except for Tex, who I really liked the Thailand variant of and wanted to keep as he was. Not the most interesting haul, but still one worth showing! 

My Next Fan Film: Ty's Cars 4!

 For the first time since 2018, I am making a new Disney Cars Feature-Length Fan Film! This Fan Film, entitled Ty's Cars 4, will be a celebration of the Disney-Pixar Cars Franchise, telling my own unofficial fan-made continuation of the Cars Series following the events of Cars 3. The Fan Film will be releasing on my Youtube Channel on June 9th, 2021, and more information will come out soon. The first teaser trailer is out now:

...Cool Car, Target...Weird Name, Though.

 I found Ducky Fauntleroy here at Target back on Sunday, and I've got to say, I love how this car turned out! His color scheme reminds me of an old Coca-Cola Bottle, and I think the red looks great on him! I just don't understand why his name is Ducky...is it a reference to Ducky from Toy Story 4? Or is it just a weird name? We'll never know....

Double Clutch, Double Store Haul

 ...Sometimes it's hard to come up with a clever title for these posts...I went on my usual weekly shopping trip and found the new 2021 Double Clutch Daley and Doc Hudson 2-pack at Target. Double Clutch was one of my most anticipated releases for the first half of the year, so I'm glad to get him...even though I had to buy another Dirt Track Fabulous Hudson Hornet to get him....

I then went to Walmart and decided to pick up a 2021 Francesco. I only have the old 2011 Francesco, and he's been updated a but since then (mainly with the color of the base) so I'm interested in comparing the two. Let me know your thoughts on this haul in the comments and check back soon for more!

 

First Minis of 2021!

 I finally found some of the new 2021 mini racers back on Saturday at two different Targets. I am incredibly excited to see all of the new minis coming out this year as the toyline expands to include more cars from other parts of the franchise. While these two packs aren't my favorites of the new line of 3-packs, they are still great! The first pack I found includes Dinoco Chick Hicks, the King, and the exclusive of Bling Bling McQueen, who I think looks great, with the exception of the wheels, which I feel unfortunately could have been done far better.
I also found the new Racing Center 3-pack with RRC Lightning McQueen, Cruz, and Kurt. While I'm, not the biggest fan of all of the Racing Center trainees, Kurt is the first one to get the mini treatment, and I think he turned out very well. I also picked up the Easter Buggy, which I was very HOPPY to find before Easter(see what I did there? I...I'm sorry for that pun.) Let me know your thoughts on these in the comments!

The Final Color Changer I Needed (For Now!)

 I stopped by Target today to see what stock was like in the middle of the week compared to the weekend when I usually go. I was able to find the new Color Changer of the King, the last Color Changer that I need that is currently available. And, as cool as this guy is, it really bothers me to see that his spoiler doesn't change colors...Aside from that, he's great, and I'm glad to finally see the King get a Color Changer. 

Finally, Some New 2021 Cars!

 Finally, after weeks and weeks of searching, I've found some new 2021 Cars! I found four at Target, and the fifth car (Green Ramone) at Wal-Mart.

The updated Green Ramone looks nice, and I'm glad to see them continuing to make updates to old Ramones

Mildred Bylane is a rerelease that I didn't expect to see, but I'm very glad that it happened!

Suki is a car that has been rereleased time and time again, but I have somehow never gotten her until now. While she isn't the most exciting release, I'm always happy to get any new Cars 2 background characters!

The Easter Buggy McQueen is a very surprising release to me. Cancelled back in 2018, he is finally out. I'm really happy to get a new variant of the Hudson Hornet Piston Cup McQueen, as it's one of my favorite paint jobs of his.

And finally, the Racing Red Jackson Storm is way, way cooler than I thought it would be. I love how this Jackson looks with his metallic Red paint job, and I can't wait to open him to take a closer look!
